"At ease, go and inform the political commissar, I'll be there right away." Yi Fei coolly gave the order. Of course, Lin Yao only saw it as a cool expression; Yi Fei was just acting normally.
"Yes, sir." The messenger saluted and left.
“Sir…” Yi Fei looked at Lin Yao.
"Go ahead, I'll stay here." Lin Yao replied immediately, but seeing that Yi Fei showed no sign of moving, he understood what kind of answer Yi Fei wanted and could only say, "I'll try my best. Although it has some effect, it consumes too much energy. I'll think of another way to help you get first place in the entire army."
"Thank you, sir!" Yi Fei relaxed his brows and smiled. "I'll be right back. Please wait here for a moment, and I'll show you around the military camp when I return."
Lin Yao hummed in agreement and began to look around the division commander's office, only to find that there was nothing to see.
The metal cabinet contained documents and was locked.
There was nothing on the desk except a manual.
Oh, there's a water glass on the table, which is obviously for Yi Fei to drink water. Apart from a few wooden stools and a small wooden tea table, there's really nothing else in the room, not even a thermos.
Wait, the thermos!
I've been here for so long, and they haven't even poured me a glass of water! That's outrageous!
Lin Yao chuckled to himself, thinking that Yi Fei was talking to him away from everyone else, and of course the orderly had to be sent away as well. It was normal that he forgot to pour water for a while, since Yi Fei usually didn't have to pour water himself.
Being a leader is great; you don't even have to pour your own hot water, and maybe you don't even have to wash your own underwear.
Lin Yao's thoughts were scattered. He was so bored in the room that he simply sat down in a chair to practice his skills.
A knocking sound startled Lin Yao from his practice, but he didn't know how to respond since he wasn't the owner of the room. So he simply pretended not to hear it.
The door was pushed open, and Yi Fei entered, followed by two young men.
"Xiao Lin, let me introduce you." Yi Fei winked at Lin Yao, giving him a hint, but Lin Yao didn't understand. "This is Pei Yuan from the Pei family of Shenyang, and this is Sun Miao from the Sun family of Nanjing."
After speaking, Yi Fei turned to look at the two young men and gestured to Lin Yao, "This is Lin Yao of the Yi family."
"Hello! It's an honor to meet you!" Pei Yuan clasped his hands in a fist and bow, giving Lin Yao a greeting as a peer.
"Hello!" Sun Miao also clasped his hands in a greeting, but didn't say anything else.
"I've heard so much about you guys! I've never even heard of you before. You've heard so much about me? Judging from your attitude, you've never heard of me before. You don't even take me seriously." Lin Yao thought to himself.
After arriving in Beijing, Lin Yao learned a lot of swear words. Heaven knows how he learned this phrase while spending all his time surrounded by women. Was it because those office workers always referred to themselves as "old lady"? Is that why he had the urge to call himself "I"?
Hello!
Lin Yao nodded in acknowledgment, but did not clasp his hands in greeting. He didn't really want to act like a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) person. He was just an ordinary person, so why make it so formal?
"I've heard that Brother Lin is a rising star of the Yi family. I would like to ask Brother Lin for guidance." Pei Yuan saw that Lin Yao only nodded in greeting, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He immediately launched an attack.
Sun Miao didn't speak, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit as he looked at Lin Yao, though not as obviously hostile as Pei Yuan's.
Two powerful pressures were generated instantly, and dust that was not originally in the room seemed to appear out of thin air, forming a circular ripple that expanded outwards from the feet of Pei Yuan and Sun Miao.
The wave spread very quickly, instantly reaching the entire room from the feet of the two people.
Lin Yao could clearly see the dust swirling and rolling on the cement floor with his keen eyesight; the thin dust cloud rushed straight towards him.
Of course, these two fluctuations are detached from the body and are not limited to the floor. The floor is just a medium for indication because of the dust.
Lin Yao noticed that the air in the room changed the instant the fluctuation occurred. It was as if the molecules in the air had rearranged and combined, causing changes in the refractive index and transmittance of the air.
An ordinary person would be immediately harmed by this fluctuation, as if an invisible wall were rushing towards them.
"Both of them are top-level Earth Realm experts, and they both look to be around twenty-five years old. Is it possible that geniuses are so worthless in this world?"
"If you randomly pick two people, they're both at the peak of the Earthly Realm. Are you trying to kill us all?"
Lin Yao was speechless. Seeing that the other party's attitude was problematic, he didn't know what Yi Fei was up to. He thought to himself, "Why don't you just use 'sound transmission'? Why are you giving me that look? We're not even attracted to each other."
What Lin Yao didn't know was that in the martial arts world, it was very impolite to use "telepathic communication" to speak on the first meeting. Of course, Yi Fei wouldn't whisper to him, so he could only give him a look.
One lacked acting skills, and the other lacked comprehension, so Yi Fei failed to convey his meaning to Lin Yao at all.
Lin Yao was lost in his own thoughts, his outward expression unchanged, as if he hadn't noticed the fluctuation.
Lin Yao's inaction shocked Pei Yuan and Sun Miao.
This was the pressure of a top-tier Earth Realm expert! The two even used their true energy to control it, and they could feel the pressure released by each other. They originally felt that great minds think alike, but when they turned to look at each other, a smile appeared on their faces in unison—the smile of a victor.
However, before that smile could fully appear, the two of them changed color and looked at Lin Yao in utter shock.
My own intimidation is ineffective!
It didn't work!
He neither sensed the area where Lin Yao was exerting his power nor felt any counterattack from Lin Yao. The pressure simply swept over Lin Yao as if there was no one standing there at all.
What's going on? Could it be that the opponent's skill level is so much higher than mine? Even a peak Earth-level expert wouldn't face such pressure so casually, let alone have no reaction at all.
Yi Fei's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Oh no, these two guys have offended the master."
Yi Fei didn't consider the possibility of Lin Yao getting injured at all, because he knew that Lin Yao's defense was top-notch. He had already verified it in Chengdu. Even the top-level Earth Realm cultivators of the Yi family couldn't defeat Lin Yao, let alone the Pei and Sun families, whose attack power was much lower than that of the Yi family's techniques. Not to mention that the Sun family was originally known for its defense.
Even after hearing from the Grand Elder that Lin Yao was able to kill a Heaven-level expert, Yi Fei became even more concerned about Lin Yao's safety.
His only worry was that Lin Yao would be angry and, after acquiring them, would kill or injure these two most talented successors from the Pei and Sun families, which would bring great trouble to the Yi family.
Yi Fei knew that Lin Yao had killed many people when he was angry. At this moment, he only hoped that Lin Yao could calm down and not make a move. He couldn't help but regret not coming in to inform Lin Yao beforehand, which was why Lin Yao didn't know their specific identities and status.
